METHOD FOR EFFECTING A SET CHANGE IN A WINDER.

摘要

A method for effecting a set change in a winder for a papermaking machine, comprises skip-slitting the paper web across the width of the web transversely to the direction of web travel in the winder. An adhesive stripe is applied to the web on either side of where the skip-slit is located. The skip-slit and application of the glue is done at a location upstream of the winder to avoid the problems associated with mounting and operating such equipment beneath the winder. The paper web is severed by advancing the skip-slit to a position near the 10 o'clock position over the surface of a first winder drum where the web is halted and the wound paper roll is urged off its support on the first winder drum to thereby increase the tension in the web between the wound roll and web supported on the first winder drum to sever the web. The adhesive stripes on either side of the severance are then applied to the wound roll and a new core, and the process is repeated.
